dont get fooled by the sports tag and think this is your typical "aim for the nationals" type of shounen sports manga. There are no team elements, no friendship that leads to victory and all that cliche stuff. This is a psychological manga revolving around a solitary guy that finds passion in climbing, and mesmerizing yet intimidating mountains that pull you towards them. the art deserves special praise. its exceptional how the settings, character expressions and even visual symbolism are done. one of the best artwork ive ever seen in a manga.
i highly recommend it if you are tired of usual sports manga and want something with more focus on the mind of the protagonist and with a more realism and mature themes.
